Since I already know that the standard response to this question is "why would you want to do that use erb", I will start out with the why:
I have a complex haml template that already generates a marked up version of my output. It's actually a series of partials that call one another. I need a text version of the same output. The code is already in place, and already works. RIpping the markup out of the haml is easy. Rewriting the whole thing in ERB would be a pain. It seems sad that I would have to port a big chunk of code to ERB just because haml does not want to let me force an extra newline and some leading spaces in a couple of places. Not to metion, haml's self-closing blocks are nice. and, oh, by the way, they are a big part of the reason that porting to ERB would be a pain. So, with that said, is there a way to get haml to put out an extra newline and some extra leading spaces in certain places?
